The computer cost is $3000

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • The ratio of the price of a tv to the price of a computer is 13 : 15
  • The tv 400 dollars cheaper than the computer

We need to find the cost of the computer

Assume that the price of the computer is $x

∵ The ratio between the prices of the tv and the computer is 13 : 15

∵ The price of the computer is $x

∵ The price of the tv 400 dollars cheaper than the computer

- That means the price of the tv is less than the price of the

  computer by $400

∴ The price of the tv is $(x - 400)

By using the ratio method

→  tv              :    computer

→  13              :    15

→  (x - 400)   :    x

By using the cross multiplication

∴ 15(x - 400) = 13(x)

- Simplify the left hand side

∴ 15x - 6000 = 13x

- Add 6000 to both sides

∴ 15x = 13x + 6000

- Subtract 13x from both sides

∴ 2x = 6000

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 3000

The computer cost is $3000

Is it possible to form a triangle with side lengths 3.5 3.5, and 9? If so, will it be scalene, isosceles, or equilateral? Or non
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

It is not possible to draw a triangle with given measurements of 3.5, 3.5, and 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Scalene Triangle</u></em> - All 3 sides have different lengths.

<em><u>I</u></em><em><u>s</u></em><em><u>osceles</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>Triangle</u></em> - 2 sides have equal lengths.

<em><u>Equilateral</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>Triangle</u></em> - All 3 sides have equal lengths.

You must be thinking that it would be Isosceles triangle, but it is not. The measurements you gave is 3.5, 3.5, and 9. Grab a piece of paper, ruler, and a pencil. First draw the length of 9 cm with your pencil and ruler (let us pretend that the measurements are in cm). Then draw 3.5 cm by placing your ruler on the end/start of your 9cm line that you drew before. Then, once again draw a 3.5 cm on the other end of the 9cm line. You will see something like the picture above. You can see that the two sides of the triangle are not intersecting on the top. This means that the triangle formation cannot be made by the given measurements of 3.5, 3.5, and 9.

I hope you understand my answer and this is an easy way to find if, from the given measurements, a triangle is able to be drawn. Thank you !!

Jabari is thinking of three numbers. The greatest number is twice as large as the least number. The middle number is three more
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

  18, 21, 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the least number. Then the greatest is 2L and the middle number is (L+3). Their sum is ...

  L +(2L) +(L+3) = 75

  4L = 72 . . . . . . . . . subtract 2, collect terms

  L = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

  L+3 = 21

  2L = 36

The numbers are 18, 21, and 36.

Daniel is printing out copies of a presentation. It takes 3 minutes to print a color copy and 1 minute to print a black-and-whit
Effectus [21]
Work the information to set inequalities that represent each condition or restriction.

2) Name the variables. 

c: number of color copies
b: number of black-and-white copies

3) Model each restriction:

i) <span>It takes 3 minutes to print a color copy and 1 minute to print a black-and-white copy.
</span><span>
</span><span>3c + b
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>ii) He needs to print at least 6 copies ⇒ c + b ≥ 6
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>iv) And must have the copies completed in no more than 12 minutes ⇒</span>

3c + b ≤ 12
<span />

4) Additional restrictions are c ≥ 0, and b ≥ 0 (i.e. only positive values for the number of each kind of copies are acceptable)

5) This is how you graph that:

i) 3c + b ≤ 12: draw the line 3c + b = 12 and shade the region up and to the right of the line.

ii) c + b ≥ 6: draw the line c + b = 6 and shade the region down and to the left of the line.

iii) since c ≥ 0 and b ≥ 0, the region is in the first quadrant.

iv) The final region is the intersection of the above mentioned shaded regions.

v) You can see such graph in the attached figure.
